One of the visible non-governmental organisations in Ghana, Lord Rayden Foundation has pledged to provide the necessary support, be it medical, legal or financial, to bereaved families in the event of the passing of a security service person in their family.
The main objective is that Lord Rayden Foundation has an established network of medical, legal and finance professionals in Ghana who will provide practical support to families and individuals struggling with the loss of a loved one who was a serviceman/woman.
The Foundation will also aim to make an influence that directly affects individuals who have been widowed or orphaned under such circumstances.
Ultimately, the objective will be to also collaborate with other non-governmental organizations, both in Africa and globally, in addressing issues affecting widows/widowers and the dependents of servicemen who perish in the line of duty.
In an interview with one of the non-executive board members, he maintained that our vision is to create a system and place that provides an environment conducive for recovery and posttraumatic growth. Our core values reflect the need to provide the basic and specialized support necessary for the families of the servicemen we lose in the line of duty which is always a cataclysmic event. We wish to address the fact that such facilities are not available in our part of the world.
